Travelling south-west towards Bordesley Junction, the flight of five Garrison Locks allows a rise of 34ft 5in (10·3 metres). Garrison Top Lock is Lock No 59 on the Grand Union Canal. This view across the lock is looking east-north-east; Salford Junction is about two and a half miles along the canal, off to the left. I think the railway carrying bridge ahead is numbered 104B now. Note: As Lock No 58 is missing on the Saltley Cut, presumably that was the former stop lock before the junction near Typhoo Basin Image
